Time Out by Suzanne Trauth, A Dodie O'Dell Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Lyrical Underground

  

The amateur actors at the Etonville Little Theatre may be known for chewing the scenery, but restaurant manager Dodie O'Dell has something more appetizing for them to sink their teeth into. She's been taking bows in her small New Jersey town for her theme menus, designed to complement the local productions. This fall, the community theatre is staging Arsenic and Old Lace, set in 1940s Brooklyn, so Dodie is serving up hot dogs, Italian ices, egg creams, and knishes at the weekend food festival.

All is going well until Antonio Digenza, the ex-Off-Off-Broadway director of the show, dies dramatically while noshing on a knish. As rumors of food poisoning quickly spread, Dodie scrambles to rescue the Windjammer restaurant's reputation. But when clues point to foul play, she's faced with a cast of suspects all auditioning for the part of DiGenza's murderer. She'll need to act fast to shine a spotlight on the killer — before it's curtains for another victim …
